Apocalypse Now

CriticsCritics: 93
AudienceAudience: 8.5

During the Vietnam War, an army captain is sent on a covert mission to find and eliminate a rogue colonel leading his own forces in the jungle. As the captain travels through dangerous territory, the conflict’s violence and disorder challenge his perspective on war and its effects on those caught within it.

My take

You may like this if you’re drawn to intense, thought-provoking war stories with a surreal atmosphere and powerful performances; Not for you if you prefer brisk pacing, frequent action, or a straightforward plot.
